TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
A word from the product manager
The Dreamscape board is a weapon on and off piste. Don't underestimate it! It is quite physical and technical. Once you're aware of this, you can glide very fast while remaining in full control.
We are very proud of our 2018 "Top of the POP" title, awarded by SnowSurf magazine. Thank you.
Programme/terrain
The Dreamscape is particularly suited to 2 types of terrain:
- on-piste and large carved turns: thanks to its turn radius, its directional shape, its rigid flex and above all its stiff torsion, it offers excellent grip
- off-piste: with its big front rocker and large setback (35 mm), it has everything you need to float on powder.
Directional snowboard
The shape of the board is directional, that is to say that the board has a front and a rear. It is not symmetrical; the rear of the board is slightly narrower than the front and the bindings, as well as the contact points of the snowboard, are set back slightly.
A directional shape gives better edge grip when turning, better control of the trajectory and more acceleration on exiting turns.
Standard camber + rocker
All the advantages of both the standard camber (thanks to the board's elasticity, a standard camber serves as a spring to provide grip on all types of snow, edge-to-edge dynamism and recoil when coming out of turns) and the rocker (under constraint, the board's points of contact with the snow come closer together, making the board more manageable). The rocker elongates and raises the nose so that it can glide better over powder.
Rigid and powerful flex
Flex is the stiffness of the snowboard between the front and rear.
The flex of the Dreamscape is 8/10, the board is rigid to be dynamic when shifting from edge to edge and picking up speed.
Stiff, powerful torsional flex
Torsion is the stiffness of the board between the feet.
The Dreamscape has a stiff, powerful torsional flex of about 8/10. It offers plenty of grip and support in turns, even on very hard snow and at full speed.
On the other hand, the Dreamscape is a very physical board: you need strong muscles to steer it, especially if riding for a whole day.
35 mm setback
The setback is when the board's compression points on the snow are not symmetrical in relation to the centre of the board, but set back towards the rear. The bindings are also set back towards the rear by the same distance.
35 mm: very strong recoil for freeride directional boards. This helps with the lift, as the weight is on the back of the board. Naturally, the front rises and the powder rushes under the board. It also relieves the rear leg.

Recommended bindings
3 possible options:
_ the Snb 500 binding is an efficient traditional snowboard binding that allows you to benefit fully from the All Road 500's capacity to tackle slopes, carving and off-piste runs. The angle of the spoiler can be adjusted.
_The Snb 100 binding will be suitable for tighter budgets, it is high-performance but just has fewer adjustment options.
_The Flow Nexus binding for those who want a quick-release binding
When should you wax your snowboard?
Decathlon snowboards come out of the factory waxed. They are ready to ride. They then require regular maintenance like all snowboards and skis: ideally waxing every 5 outings and at least once a year: - either at the beginning of the season to start with a very good slide - or at the end of the season, leaving the wax on to protect the base throughout the summer.
What's the right size Dreamscape for me?
In general, for freeriding you use a fairly long board: about -10 to -15 cm (e.g. someone measuring 1 m 74 can use a board between 164 and 159 cm in length).
If you choose a shorter board, it will be easier to control. A bigger board will be more stable at high speed.
WARNING: due to the Rocker, the 160 cm board is equivalent to a 157 cm board and the 166 cm board is equivalent to a 163 cm board.
160 cm (60-90 kg) => from 1.69 to 1.77 m
166 cm (75-110 kg) => from 1.75 to 1.85 m
What is Wide on a snowboard?
A "Wide" board is a board that is wider than usual to prevent larger feet from touching the snow when executing a hard turn and stop you from falling.
From size 10 upwards, it is best to choose a "Wide" board.
“Wide” is the width of the board at the centre. At Decathlon, we have defined them as follows:
- up to 254 mm: normal board/shoe size 3 to 9
- from 255 mm to 264 mm: Mid Wide/shoe size 7 to 11
- from 265 mm: Wide/shoe size 8.5 to 13
Glide quality: sintered sole
The bases are made from polyethylene using 2 different technical processes:
- extruded base, with a certain density of polyethylene
- a sintered base, with a higher density of polyethylene (fewer holes, more PE)
A sintered base is the Rolls-Royce of bases. The glide is really fantastic.
0% Park: can I perform jumps with this board?
Yes.
0% Park means that the technical features of this snowboard are not designed for freestyle riding: the board is neither short nor symmetrical at front and back, making it possible to perform all freestyle movements (turns, jumps with a switch landing etc.) but it's not really the best board.
However, on or off-piste, you can do all the straight jumps you like.
Can I get my snowboard bindings fitted in store?
Yes. On the product page, you'll find a set-up support video, however you can also ask your store to fit your bindings to suit your own preferences. Remember to take your snowboard boots with you for 2 adjustments:
1. The front/back of the binding, so that the toes or heels of the boots don't stick out on one side more than the other
2. The straps on your bindings, which should be properly adjusted to your boots.

Tips for storage and maintenance
Storage tips
Dry edges at the end of the day to prevent rust. <br /> Ideally, wax every 5 outings.<br /> Storing for the summer: keep away from sunlight, you can leave your bindings on the board.
